HYMN 395. Pardon of bloudshed, and pray∣ers for Sion. 4. METRE.

Psal. 51.14.

ACquit me from bloud-guiltiness Lord God, my Saviour strong: Then shall I sing thy righteousness, with loud and joyfull tongue. [verse 15] And open thou, my lips, O Lord, my drooping soul to raise: Then shall my mouth aloud record, and shew forth all thy praise.

[verse 16] For thou desir'st no Sacrifice, else would I give it thee: Burnt Offerings, Lord, thou dost not prize, nor take delight to see. [verse 17] A Soul that doth with sorrow smart, is God's chief Sacrifice: A broken and a contrite heart thou wilt not, Lord, despise.
[verse 18] Do good in love to Sion hill, build up Jerusalems wall: [verse 19] Then shall we bring our Offerings still, and please thee therewithall. Pure Sacrifice of righteousness, and bullocks then shall they, With whole burnt Offerings numberless upon thine Altar lay.
